Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. Finding the number of sides of a regular polygon from exterior angle 45 degrees — the best logical assessment: Sufficient information. II. Two events cannot occur together but one of them must occur — the best logical assessment: They are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.

For A witness claims no black swans exist after seeing only white swans, identify the best logical assessment.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. A claim says a policy is correct solely because many people support it — the best logical assessment: False dilemma. II. A price falls from 100 to 80 and then rises to 100; claim of equal percentage changes — the best logical assessment: The claim is false because the percentage bases differ.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. An argument attacks a speaker's clothing instead of the evidence — the best logical assessment: Ad hominem diversion. II. A rule claims every parcel is under 2 kg; one parcel weighs 3 kg — the best logical assessment: The sample may be unrepresentative.

For A survey asks only gym members whether residents exercise daily, identify the best logical assessment.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. Finding the number of sides of a regular polygon from exterior angle 45 degrees — the best logical assessment: Sufficient information. II. A training group's scores improve with no comparison group — the best logical assessment: Other changes could explain the improvement.

For A town's ice-cream sales and sunburn reports rise together; claim that ice cream causes sunburn, identify the best logical assessment.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. A proposal recommends streetlights because crashes mostly occur after dark — the best logical assessment: The reasoning assumes lighting can reduce the relevant crash risk. II. A price falls from 100 to 80 and then rises to 100; claim of equal percentage changes — the best logical assessment: A single counterexample refutes the universal claim.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. Two sets overlap, but neither contains the other — the best logical assessment: Some elements belong to both and some are exclusive to each. II. Finding rectangle area when only its perimeter is 20 cm is known — the best logical assessment: Insufficient information.

For A rule claims every parcel is under 2 kg; one parcel weighs 3 kg, identify the best logical assessment.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. A report says 8 of 10 users improved but gives no initial selection method — the best logical assessment: Selection bias remains possible. II. An argument attacks a speaker's clothing instead of the evidence — the best logical assessment: False dilemma.

For A conclusion repeats its premise without independent support, identify the best logical assessment.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. A training group's scores improve with no comparison group — the best logical assessment: The universal conclusion exceeds the observations. II. A survey asks only gym members whether residents exercise daily — the best logical assessment: The sample may be unrepresentative.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. Finding x from x+y=10 alone with real x and y — the best logical assessment: Insufficient information. II. Two sets overlap, but neither contains the other — the best logical assessment: Some elements belong to both and some are exclusive to each.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. A witness claims no black swans exist after seeing only white swans — the best logical assessment: The universal conclusion exceeds the observations. II. A choice is presented as only A or B when C is feasible — the best logical assessment: Selection bias remains possible.

For A price falls from 100 to 80 and then rises to 100; claim of equal percentage changes, identify the best logical assessment.

Evaluate the two proposed answers. Which are supported? I. Two events cannot occur together but one of them must occur — the best logical assessment: They are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. II.
